The downside of onomatopoeia is displayed on Fox News’ Gutfeld! a show that is exactly as it sounds, a sucker punch in the no-fly zone from a 60-year-old troll that leaves you projectile vomiting Corn Pops onto your flatscreen.

And that’s on a good night.

On the bad ones, Greg Gutfeld bombs his monologue before a handpicked home crowd with shopworn references to Kamala Harris’ drinking, Chris Christie’s weight, Rashida Tlaib’s purported facial hair, and quipping that “many people believe that Kathy Griffin is really Carrot Top with AIDS.

Donald Trump took a break from serving as the leader of the free world on Friday to write a borderline incoherent screed against Bruce Springsteen, just after the songwriter blasted him at the inaugural date of his 2025 European tour.

“Springsteen is ‘dumb as a rock,'” Trump wrote, “and couldn’t see what was going on, or could he (which is even worse!)? This dried out ‘prune’ of a rocker (his skin is all atrophied!) ought to Keep His Mouth Shut until he gets back into the Country, that’s just ‘standard fare.

Portraying multiple characters and immersing themselves in their personalities can leave a lasting impact on actors. However, few might have responded as uniquely as Topher Grace did when he felt depressed after his role in Spike Lee’s 2018 biographical crime comedy-drama, BlacKkKlansman.

The actor revealed in a previous interview that he became so overwhelmed by his role in the film that he ended up creating a two-hour edit of Peter Jackson’s The Hobbit trilogy to clear his mind.

Known for starring in That ‘70s Show and Spider-Man, Topher Grace took on the role of David Duke, the radical Ku Klux Klan leader and one of the most prominent white supremacists in history, in Spike Lee’s BlacKkKlansman.

In an interview with IndieWire, he shared how he prepared for his role in the...

For LeBron James, “the choice is clear” about who to vote for president. On Thursday, the Los Angeles Lakers player officially endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris as he shared a video compilation of the hate and racism spread by former President Donald Trump and his campaign.

“What are we even talking about here?” James captioned alongside the clip, which included headlines of David Duke, the former Ku Klux Klan leader, supporting Trump, along with the former president’s racist rhetoric toward migrants and the Black community.

“When I think about...

After a Haitian advocacy group filed criminal charges against former President Donald Trump and his running mate J.D. Vance, one member of Congress responded with a racist rant that is, frankly, completely in line with the character of the modern GOP.

Earlier this week, the nonprofit Haitian Bridge Alliance took advantage of an Ohio law allowing private citizens to file criminal charges against individuals, charging the Republican candidates with a series of offenses related to a smear campaign they promoted against Haitian migrants living in the town of Springfield, Ohio.

BlacKkKlansman is an undeniably great movie, one of Rotten Tomatoes highest-rated, with a critics consensus that reads: "BlacKkKlansman uses history to offer bitingly trenchant commentary on current events — and brings out some of Spike Lee's hardest-hitting work in decades along the way." Indeed, the film brought Lee back into the spotlight in a big way, winning the Grand Prix at the 2018 Cannes Film Festival, six Academy Award nominations — including Best Picture and Lee's very first Best Director nod — and winner for Best Adapted Screenplay. BlacKkKlansman tells the story of Ron Stallworth (John David Washington), a Black police officer who tricks the local division of the Ku Klux Klan, and Grand Wizard David Duke, into believing he is a white man, and with the help of his coworker Flip Zimmerman (Adam Driver) infiltrates and exposes the local chapter of the KKK. It sounds almost too far-fetched to be real, but yet it is,...

Sam Bushman wears many hats. All of them scream extremist.

Bushman is the new CEO of the Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association — a far-right group, with far-reaching influence, that preaches that the nation’s sheriffs have authority to judge the constitutionality of laws, and to block enforcement of any they deem objectionable.

Bushman is also the owner of Liberty News Radio, a right-wing radio and podcast network that provides a soapbox for white separatists, including airing shows that platform former KKK Grand Wizard David Duke and Charlottesville Unite the Right rally organizer Jason Kessler.

As congress continues to search for a replacement House Speaker, two frontrunners emerged last week, in the form of Rep. Jim Jordan and Rep. Steve Scalise. Both options were pretty bleak for John Oliver, especially considering the latter candidate has previously likened himself to the former leader of the Ku Klux Klan.

To kick off his second episode of “Last Week Tonight,” Oliver immediately got into Kevin McCarthy’s ouster, first poking fun at Patrick McHenry, who is filling the role in the interim.

Oliver joked that he looks like “Patton Oswalt as a ventriloquist dummy” and, like most of the late night hosts did this week, had a laugh at how hard McHenry slammed the gavel to adjourn the House after McCarthy was booted. The late night host then turned his attention to Jordan and Scalise, pointing out that Scalise was once equated to “David Duke without the baggage.

Don’t worry. Although Congress is at a standstill without a speaker for the first time in American history, Rep. Matt Gaetz said that everything is going according to his “plan.”

During an appearance on Meet the Press, Gaetz — who led the effort to oust Rep. Kevin McCarthy from his position as speaker of the House — defended his actions, even though they have left Congress “paralyzed,” according to Democratic Rep. Seth Moulton, in the face of an unprecedented attack against Israel.

“You led this effort to oust Speaker McCarthy without a clear replacement in place,...

The hilarious and adored period sitcom That '70s Show introduced audiences everywhere to the lovable stoner misfits of Point Place, Wisconsin. The series follows a group of six teenagers living in the grooviest decade of all as they deal with adolescence, romance, and overbearing parents while navigating life’s ups and downs. The sitcom was notorious for its depiction of “the circle,” a recurring scene that illustrated the gang’s use of marijuana in Eric Forman’s basement, but without actually ever showing cannabis paraphernalia. That '70s Show addressed many social issues of the time period, such as generational conflict, sexual attitudes, and both fashion and entertainment trends. The program helped launch the careers of many of its talented leads, as the cast members went on to star in an array of hit television shows and films.

Update September 9, 2023: This article has been updated following the premiere of That '90s Show...

After the sitcom ended in 2006, the cast of That '70s Show went on to have long and successful careers. That '70s Show follows the life of Eric Forman, a regular teen in Wisconsin in the 1970s, and the antics of growing up in that groovy decade. The series was unique because it combined the typical tropes of classic sitcoms with a modern twist, and cleverly paid homage to the time period that it was based in. As a result, That '70s Show was nostalgic for those who remembered the '70s, and for those who enjoyed the show as it was airing in the '90s and early-'00s.

Like most sitcoms, That '70s Show lived and died by its cast, and the stars of the show would all go on to have extremely successful careers in TV and movies. The show allowed the audience to grow up along with...

On Ash Wednesday, the First Lutheran Church in Knoxville called the cops on a parishioner who was attempting to attend services. Corey Mahler — a white nationalist who has sought to transform the Lutheran Church into a bastion for young fascists — was removed from church grounds for causing what his pastor called “harm and division to the body of Christ.”

The move against Mahler in Tennessee was set in motion a day earlier in St. Louis. The president of the nation’s second-largest Lutheran denomination posted a denunciation of agitators “propagating...

Workplace comic strip Dilbert is being pulled from newspapers across the country this week, following creator Scott Adams' statements on his YouTube channel. In comments reacting to a Rasmussen Reports poll in which 53% of black surveyees agreed with the statement, "It's okay to be white," Adams stated that, "if nearly half of all blacks are not okay with white people ... that's a hate group." Adams continued "the best advice I would give to white people is to get the hell away from black people ... because there's no fixing this, this can't be fixed."

As reported by The Washington Post, newspapers across the country are pulling Dilbert from their pages following Adams' vlog episode 'AI Goes Woke, I Accidentally Joined A Hate Group, Trump, Policing Schools.' The Los Angeles Times, The Boston Globe, The Cleveland Plain Dealer, and hundreds of papers under the USA Today network are ceasing publication of the comic strip,...

Elon Musk says Twitter will enact a general amnesty for suspended accounts next week.

The billionaire continued his ad hoc strategy of making policy by Twitter poll, asking users on Wednesday, “Should Twitter offer a general amnesty to suspended accounts, provided that they have not broken the law or engaged in egregious spam?” He did not specify which laws.

A majority (72 percent) of the 3.1 million users voted in favor of the amnesty for blocked accounts, a group that includes former Ku Klux Klan grand wizard David Duke, former Trump advisors Steve Bannon and Roger Stone, right wing writer Milo Yiannopoulos, singer Azealia Banks, pharma bro Martin Shkreli and neo-fascist group the Proud Boys.

“The people have spoken,” Musk tweeted when the poll had ended. “Amnesty begins next week. Vox Populi, Vox Dei,” he tweeted, using the Latin phrase that means “the voice of...

Elon Musk, who just took over Twitter in a 44 billion leveraged buyout, sought to allay fears about the direction of the social media company by saying it is forming a content moderation council.

“Twitter will be forming a content moderation council with widely diverse viewpoints,” the billionaire entrepreneur tweeted. “No major content decisions or account reinstatements will happen before that council convenes.”

Without further details beyond Musk’s brief statement, it is difficult to discern the exact nature of the new council’s role or what it may mean in terms of expectations that many notorious figures and their followers could be on their way back onto Twitter. Facebook, facing a storm of controversy in recent years over the content circulating on its network, created a similar body and promised it would function independently from the company’s management team.

Former President Donald Trump and a range of others, especially...

At the risk of damning an impressively strong debut with faint praise, B.J. Novak’s “Vengeance” is perhaps the best possible movie someone could make out of a murder-mystery that starts with John Mayer standing on the rooftop bar of a Soho House, but doesn’t end with the musician dead in a ditch somewhere.

In fact, Mayer never shows up again. He sticks around just long enough for you to assume the worst about what’s to come — oh yay, the other, other guy from “The Office” remade “Swingers” for the Tinder set, and cast someone who once referred to his dick as a white supremacist in the Vince Vaughn role — and then recedes into the background of a wickedly sharp film that satirizes our rush to judgment in a society where unprecedented chaos has forced people to rely on the stabilizing confidence of their own convictions.

Whatever you think of Novak,...

Topher Grace will portray former Ku Klux Klan grand wizard David Duke in Spike Lee’s upcoming “BlackKklansman,” it was announced in CinemaCon on Wednesday.

Grace’s casting was previously announced, but it was not known he’d be playing the prominent white supremacist and former Louisiana state representative in Lee’s telling of a remarkable American story.

Footage screened for theater exhibitors was brief but classic Spike Lee — biting social commentary that is all the more shocking for being true.

Just in time for Election Day, Stephen Colbert and Jon Stewart took one last shot at presidential candidate Donald Trump.

Stewart, 53, joined Colbert on Monday’s episode of The Late Show, starring in an extended musical voting PSA urging Americans to hit the polls and vote in Tuesday’s presidential election.

The skit opens with a young girl telling Colbert, 52, that she’s “too scared to vote.” Colbert breaks out into song to encourage her to participate in the democratic process — but out pops Stewart to play devil’s advocate, decked out in a red top hat, a sash bearing...

On Monday night's episode of The Late Show, Stephen Colbert enlisted Jon Stewart to help him with an extended musical segment urging everyone to vote in today's Presidential election.

The subject of the skit is a young girl who tells Colbert that she's "too scared to vote." Colbert encourages her to participate in the democratic process. Meanwhile Stewart – sporting a red top hat, a sash bearing his own name, and a cartoonish southern accent – plays devil's advocate. "If the girl does not want to vote, I say the girl does not have to vote,...
